Have you ever sat and pondered about the future of our world or how about your own foreseeable future? Since I was a young man I have done just that. I have now come to the realization that I can no longer sit idly by and watch my world be led to the slaughter by its government...... KIRKUS REVIEW Ricci shares his thoughts on the perils of corrupt government control in his debut nonfiction work. From the start, Ricci stands firmly by his beliefs and bluntly states his perspective that the world is being "led to the slaughter by its government." Each chapter touches on some element of this threat. He opens with a discussion on the link between Big Oil and the government, then moves into an argument against public instruction on evolution and the manner in which religious belief has been curtailed in the public realm. Other topics he elaborates on include government debt, private debt, federal financial regulations and government handouts. Each chapter tackles a different topic, but each claim supports his overall statement concerning the hazards of government control. Ricci organizes his thoughts in a clean manner and manages to steer clear of any distracting rabbit trails. Moreover, he offers intriguing viewpoints and clearly holds strong convictions about these views.
